CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Fewer people infected with COVID-19 are getting confined or spending time in the city’s hospitals despite the spike in the number of infections because of the city’s high vaccination rate, officials said.
“Our vaccination has helped those who got infected. They did not have severe or critical cases anymore,” Mayor Oscar Moreno said during the briefer. “We know that if people are vaccinated, there is really some level of protection,” he added.
“This is the difference between now and that of last year’s upsurge. The vaccines are protecting the residents,” Moreno said. He was later declared having recovered and allowed to proceed to Iligan on Dec. 30. It was only on Jan. 7 that the Philippine Genome Center informed DOH-10 officials that the Iligan resident was found positive of the Omicron variant.
The city government has continued to ramp up the local COVID-19 vaccination rollout in the hope that more would opt to get inoculated and receive their booster shots.
